LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, which is a client-server protocol
for accessing a directory service. LDAP is a directory service protocol that runs over
TCP/IP. The nitty-gritty details of LDAP are defined in RFC 1777 "Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol".
The following gives an overview of LDAP from a user's perspective.
What kind of information can be stored in the directory?
The LDAP information model is based on entries. An entry is a collection of attributes

that has a globally-unique Distinguished Name (DN). The DN is used to refer to the entry
unambiguously. Each of the entry's attributes has a type and one or more values. The
types are typically mnemonic strings, like "cn" for common name, or "mail" for email
address. The syntax of values depends on the attribute type. For example, a cn
attribute might contain the value “Babs Jensen”. A mail attribute might contain the
value "babs@example.com".
How is the information arranged?
In LDAP, directory entries are arranged in a hierarchical tree-like structure. Traditionally,

this structure reflected the geographic and/or organizational boundaries. Entries
representing countries appear at the top of the tree. Below them are entries
representing states and national organizations. Below them might be entries
representing organizational units, people, printers, documents, or just about anything
else you can think of. The following shows an example of LDAP directory tree using
traditional naming.

Introduction
LDAP enables you to locate organizations, individuals, and other resources such as files
and devices in a network, whether on the Internet or on a corporate intranet, and
whether or not you know the domain name, IP address, or geographic whereabouts. An
LDAP directory can be distributed among many servers on a network, then replicated
and synchronized regularly. LDAP is particularly useful for storing information that you
wish to read from many locations, but update infrequently.
This guide provides configurations on the LDAP server and IP phones, and applies to the
following Yealink IP phones:
 SIP-T21P IP phones running firmware version 72 or later
 SIP-T28P, SIP-T26P, SIP-T22P, SIP-T48G, SIP-T46G, SIP-T42G and SIP-T41P IP phones

running firmware version 73 or later
 SIP-T29G, SIP-T27P, SIP-T23P/G and SIP-T21(P) E2 IP phones running firmware version

80 or later.

Installing and Configuring the LDAP Server
An LDAP server is essentially a bit like an SQL server, which is mainly used for
storing/retrieving information about people (such as contacts). The configuration
settings on the phone will be altered depending on how the LDAP server is configured.
Before using LDAP feature on IP phones, you must make sure the LDAP server is
prepared properly, otherwise you need to install and configure an LDAP server. This
chapter shows you how to install and configure an LDAP server. We recommend you to
use the OpenLDAP, Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Active Directory Application
Mode (ADAM) or Sun One Directory Server on Windows system.
This section shows you how to install an OpenLDAP server on Microsoft Windows 2007
system. The OpenLDAP server software is available for free. You can download it from
http://www.userbooster.de/en/download/openldap-for-windows.aspx?l=en.
To install the OpenLDAP server:
1. Double click the OpenLDAP application to start the installation. You will be
prompted for the installation.
2. Click Yes to continue the installation.
3. Follow the default settings and click Next until the Destination Folder screen
appears.
3
4. Click Change to locate the installation path from local computer system and then
click Next.
You need to remember the installation path (e.g., D:\OpenLDAP) located here.
The screenshot for reference is shown as below:
5. Follow the default settings and click Next until the Ready to install OpenLDAP for
Windows screen appears.
6. Click Install to start the installation.
7. Click Close to exit the Setup Wizard.
For more information on how to install the OpenLDAP server for windows, refer to the
website online:
http://www.userbooster.de/en/support/feature-articles/openldap-for-windows-installatio
n.aspx.

Access the OpenLDAP installation path. Edit the manager information for LDAP.
1. Open and edit the slapd.conf file using your favorite text editor.
Find the commands
Suffix "dc=maxcrc, dc=com"
Rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=maxcrc,dc=com"
Suffix defines the components of the domain name.
Rootdn defines the manager as a management user for accessing the LDAP server.
For example:
Suffix "dc=yealink,dc=com"
Rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=yealink,dc=com "
The suffix line means that the domain name of the LDAP directory is yealink.com.
The Rootdn line defines a management user named as Manager.
If the domain name contains additional components, for example, yealink.com.cn,

the suffix line will be edited as below:
Suffix "dc=yealink,dc=com,dc=cn"
Rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=yealink,dc=com,dc=cn"
2. Double click slappasswd.exe to modify the user password for the management user.
Type the new password twice.
To start the slapd service:
1. Click Start->Run.
2. Enter cmd in the pop-up dialogue box and click OK to enter the command line
interface.
5
3. Access the server installation path. For example, execute the following commands
to access the server installation path at D:\OpenLDAP.
4. Execute the command slapd.exe -d 1 -f ./slapd.conf to start the slapd service.
If the service runs successfully, you can find the prompt “slapd starting”.
Please do not close this window to make sure the LDAP server keeps running.
You can add the initial entry to the LDAP directory by using the LDIF file. Create a new
text document, then modify the filename extension as ldif and place the document to
the OpenLDAP installation path. For example, create a text document named as test.txt,
right click the test.txt document and then select to rename it, modify the filename
extension as ldif. Open the LDIF file with your favorite text editor and input the
corresponding content. The following shows an example of the content of the LDIF file:
